Pitch Count Rules
The required rest is full calendar days, not 24 hour period of time.
Here are a few examples how the pitch count works:
Johnny pitches Saturday. His pitch count is 36
This will require 1 full calendar day's rest. Sunday will be his rest day and he will be eligible to pitch on Monday
Bobby pitches Wednesday - His pitch count is 52. This will require 3 full calendar day's rest. Thursday, Friday, & Saturday will be his rest days. He will be eligible to pitch on Sunday.
Billy pitches Friday - His pitch count is 67 - this will require 4 full calendar day's rest. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday will be his rest days. He will be eligible to pitch on Wednesday.
Steve pitches Monday - his pitch count is 35 - this requires no days rest and he is eligible to pitch Tuesday.
